Vault Question:
Will there be region specific servers? (EU, NA, JP, etc...)
We have no plans to create region-specific servers.

The reasoning behind our decision is that FFXI is a cross-platform, or rather an open platform architecture where content is provided to the users without boundaries making it possible to reach a community on a global scale.

From a service provider perspective, being able to deliver content globally, we can take advantage of the different time zones and reduce data center costs. This also allows the servers (game worlds) to be continuously populated by players around the clock. As a result, we can provide an extremely high level of service at a lower cost.

The auction house service has advantages where the in-game economy overcomes the language barrier and creates a thriving economy 24 hours a day.
